Speculative Worlds: Science Fiction + Fantasy Short Story Writing

Got ideas for a science fiction or fantasy story but aren’t sure how to approach it? Have you wanted to try exploring these imaginative genres but need a push to get started? Looking for like-minded folks with whom to share work and explore ideas? If you answered yes to any of those questions, this is the class for you. We’ll spend the first several weeks creating stories using prompts, exercises, and mentor texts, and then each participant will enjoy a supportive workshop critique of their original work in the final sessions. Participants will leave with a complete draft, feedback, and lots of sample stories and resources.

Special Notes

• Participants will need something to write with! Can be analog or digital for in class. Workshop stories will need to be printed.
  Accessibility notes: Many artmaking processes require the ability to sit or stand for extended periods of time, fine motor skills/finger dexterity, repetitive motions, vision, and some amount of physical strength. VisArts values making classes accessible to everyone, and is always happy to work with students to make accommodations when possible.
